product details
The Canon Rangefinder/Dream Lenses at Cine Visuals, are a full set of 9 vintage spherical film photography lenses, rehoused by TLS, with focal lengths ranging 19mm - 135mm. These lenses are rehoused with LPL mounts, allowing them to be used with modern large format cameras. This is a unique and highly sought-after set of vintage film lenses. The 50mm โ€œDream Lensโ€ is particularly notable for its exceptional optical design, fast T1.1 aperture, and enchanting amber lens flares, and swirly, enchantingly dramatic bokeh. These lenses represent a milestone of vintage LF oriented optics, combined with spectacular modern LPL housing, filling the need for vintage offerings in the world of LF cinematography. The rehousing process completely preserves the original optical designs and image circles, ensuring that the lenses maintain their unrepeatable look. The golden 1960โ€™s single-layer coatings are preserved, adding to the distinctly organic skin tones and flares. The Canon Rangefinders are perfect for film or photography enthusiasts looking for a touch of nostalgia and exceptional vintage image quality in their cinema work. These lenses can be used to great effect on their own, or can be complimented by vintage zooms such as the Cooke Varotal or K35 zoom. If lens speed is the goal, the Leica Noctilux 50mm T1 is available to rent as well. These lenses can be rented or sub-rented from Cine Visuals in full sets, partial sets, or as single lenses.

Image Performance

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
